N2 - The chapter explores how temporality, identity, and modernity were conceptualized in Danish history-writing from 1900 to 1945. The first part of the chapter deals with the conceptualizations of historical change, its causes, and its direction. The second part focuses primarily on the way in which national identity was conceptualized. The third section analyses the broader debates about modern society, modern science, Darwinism, religion, sexual morality, and so on, relating to transnational debates on ‘modernity’ from the late 1880s onwards. The last section provides the conclusion of the findings and comments on the impact of racial thinking on Danish historiography and national socialist use of history in the Danish context.
